CGS

At CGS, we resist escapism of every kind. Our world was wonderfully made. Our world is horrifically cursed. We believe that the only hope for our world is to bring it, as it really is, before Jesus, as He really is. It is our mission to bring the redemptive blessing of God into every sphere of the cursed world that we touch... We believe in "Messy Christianity." We are walking contradictions! On the one hand, we are created in the image of God, with a dignity and purpose beyond our knowing. On the other hand, we are sinful and broken individuals, also beyond our knowing. Each of us is a mixture of faith and doubt, health and woundedness, trust and anxiety, truth and error, etc. We seek to be a church where it is safe to take off our "masks" and stop pretending that we have it all together. The more we do this, the more we will become a humbly welcoming community... The Church of the Good Shepherd is a thoughtful community of believers who exist, by the grace of God, to enjoy the Real..
